Wilderness Run is an E&F Miler Industries kiddie roller coaster located at Carowinds in Rock Hill, South Carolina. It opened in March 1998 as Taxi Jam. Hence its current name, the Peanuts character that this coaster is themed to is Lucy van Pelt, Linus van Pelt's sister.
In 2005, the ride as well as every other existing kids ride was turned into a Nickelodeon-themed attraction as part of a expansion of Nickelodeon Central, which at the time also consisted of another roller coaster, Rugrats Runaway Reptar, a log flume, and a Moby Dick-style ride. The track remained the same color as it was before, the ride vehicles changed from highly detailed taxi cabs and a police car into 6 blank taxi cabs, and the scenery around the attraction changed, thus changing its name into Hey Arnold! Taxi Chase.
In 2010, the attractions in Nickelodeon Central were rethemed to Peanuts characters (Planet Snoopy), and the ride was repainted blue, with the taxi cabs, again, being vastly detailed.
